Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] kallsyms: Disable preemption for find_kallsyms_symbol_value

Artem reported suspicious RCU usage [1]. The reason is that verifier
calls find_kallsyms_symbol_value with preemption enabled which will
trigger suspicious RCU usage warning in rcu_dereference_sched call.

Disabling preemption in find_kallsyms_symbol_value and adding
__find_kallsyms_symbol_value function.

Fixes: 31bf1dbccfb0 ("bpf: Fix attaching fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm to modules")
